But u are ignoring the fact that the Gints defense kept that incredible offense in check? I thought i was sour grapes about the "lucky" Giants. There was a segment on the nfl network or espn that mentioned something like 29 very fortunate/lucky plays - injuries - circumstances, that occured during the two Superbowl runs - culminating in the helmet catch. So i hear you - sort of. Bottom line is that they also overcame major injuries last year, and bounced back from an ass whooping by the skins to go on an incredible run. They didnt give up. They didnt let the fire coughlin and shitcan eli talk ( both years) get inside their heads. In some ways those two teams probably deserve more credit than most for winning championships.
